Q: We’ve been thinking of surprising my father with a puppy as a Father’s Day gift. He loves dogs and hasn’t had one since before my mom got sick four years ago. He is 68 but still healthy and active. Still, we are wondering if we should get a breed that doesn’t need to expend a lot of energy in case my father slows down significantly in his 70s. What do you think?
